There are 28 specimens of this species, and it thus seems to be 

 one of the most widely distributed starfishes in Jones Sound. The arm- 

 radius in the larger of the specimens is from 18 to 24 mm., the disc- 

 radius 3 or 4 mm. The average proportion between the disc-radius and 

 the arm-radius is as 1:4.3, the proportion varying between 1:31 and 

 1 : 6.7. Two of the specimens are three-armed, 2 four-armed, 3 five- 

 armed, 17, or 61 per cent., six-armed, and 1 seven-armed. The majority 

 have one or more arms shorter than the others; only 4 specimens — 

 or 14 per cent. — have all their arms of about the same length, these 

 being the 2 three-armed specimens, one of the four-armed, and one 

 six-armed specimen.
